Web Service - XI - RFC problem

Hello,
I have a scenario in which a web service uses an RFC in our ecc system.
I have created the necessary objects in IR and ID and generated the wsdl using "Define Web Service" in ID.
My problem is with consuming the RFC: I want to use the lookup api, but I don't know what name I should use for that.
How can I tell the name of the service that is exposed through the XI so that I can consume it?
Thanks in advance,
Tal.

hi,
>>>>I have the WSDL - but how do I use it to call the XI?
I don't even know what language or application you use to consume this WSDL
every language or application that allows that has how to guide
which shows step by step how to consume WSDL (so call XI)
>>>>Do I have to use a DeployableProxy and deploy it to the XI?
you can have your application anywhere you want
why do you want to deploy it on XI ???

michal

Web Service from RFC function module

Hi all,
I'm searching for a way to create web services from RFC-enabled function modules. I know there is a wizard, but it's not suitable for my problem:
I have around 30 function modules (number raising in near future) I want to enable for web services, most of them share the same structures representing the underlying data model. When one structure is modified (i.e. a new sub-structure is added) I have to recreate all web services, which is quite uncomfortable.
In addition, using the wizard results in one wsdl-file for each web service operation, that leads to an administration overhead using this web services from a java frontend.
So I'm searching for a "bulk creation". I also know the wizard can be used for a function group, but I can't put all my RFC-enabled function module in one function group, that would lead to confusion in the package.
Does anyone know how web services are created programmaticaly? If I had a function module which creates the web services I could write a function module which creates all web services I need.
Thank you in anticipation!
Florian

I'm not sure I understand the 're-create' part...how are you re-creating the web service? if you modify the interface of a function-based web service, then you use the 'modify operations' functionality (context menu - right-click) to regenerate the web service interface; this works for a function group based web service as well and hits all of the methods at once. As for the java overhead on function group services, stating the obvious, maybe you just need to lower the number of functions in your groups. We use .Net-developed applications with multi-function webservices and don't have any overhead issues.

Web services enabled RFC for SO creation in SAP 5.0 is not responding

Dear Members,
Third party application is not able to getting response from SAP R/3 web service enabled RFC.
We have created a RFC for creation of Sales order by passing mandatory values into SAP thorugh third party application from outside SAP. Accessing RFC in SAP through Web service is not sending response properly. However Sales Order is getting created in the SAP system perfactly, in return to third party application to out side SAP through web service throughing an Exception.
As standalone RFC in SAP, which is creating Sales order perfactly.
Here we have deleted web service of RFC many times and recreated also, still the problem is not get resolved.
Web services is got configured perfactly in the SAP, because other RFCs are working fine.
Please someone suggest how to resolve this issue in case of Sales Order creation through web service enabled.
Sudheer

Hi ARC,
Here the issue is that, Sales Order is getting created but while sending the Order num. to Webpage through web service then rasing below Exception.
Runtime Error UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
Except. CX_SOAP_CORE
Date and Time 07.05.2008 20:13:24
ShrtText
An exception that could not be caught occurred.
What happened?
The exception 'CX_SOAP_CORE' was raised but was not caught at any stage in the
call hierarchy.
Since exceptions represent error situations, and since the system could
not react adequately to this error, the current program,
'CL_SOAP_TRANSPORT_EXTENSN_ROOTCP', had to
be terminated

Web service empty relationship problem

hi all,
I have a pretty simple web service. Two entities, a citizen and a business. A citizen is able to register 0..n businesses. There is a WS which reads the citizen. When the business key list in citizen is empty the web service wont return the citizen (portal request failed could not execute web service operation). When at least one relation is defined all works fine.
I've tested the web service. The problem occurs only with VC.
thanks for your help,
regards, felix

Hi Ankur,
no, not exactly...
The webservice is tested with an id as input and returns some string values (name, firstname...) and a list of references to other objects. When this list is empty...(depending on the back end system)
part of the SOAP message:
<ns1:businessRef xmlns:ns1='urn:com.sap.bureg001.core.besrv.citizen' xmlns:pns='urn:java/lang'></ns1:businessRef>
... visual composer returns an error.
when this list is not empty (again depending on database entries in the back end)
part of the SOAP message:
<ns1:businessRef xmlns:ns1='urn:com.sap.bureg001.core.besrv.citizen' xmlns:pns='urn:java/lang'><pns:String>c22bc900-dec3-11db-cdce-00505625e523</pns:String>
</ns1:businessRef>
... visual composer does not return an error but returns the values like the service is supposed to do.
Testing the web service with Web Services Navigator both scenarios are working without problems.
thanks for your fast response,
felix

Web Service - XI - RFC

Hi,
I have a Web Service <-> XI <-> RFC scenery.
I've already done the Design, but a I have some questions about configuration...
What do I have to configure to make R/3 understand that it has been started?
Tks,
Daniela

Hi,
In configuration you need to have Sender Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination and Receiver Agreement. Receiever Determination and Reciever Agreement will make R/3 understand it has been started.
Just go thru following blog to get more info

Difference between Web Services and RFC (both Advantages & Disadvantage)

Hi All,
will you please explain the difference between Web Services and RFC (both Advantages & Disadvantage)
Thanks,
jyothi.

Hi,
If you want have a communications between SAP systems within a network, we can go for an RFC.
If you want have communication between SAP systems through a medium like internet, we can probably go for a webservice.
Please refer the following links:
What is the difference between RFC vs. Web service ?

Web service model initialization problem

I have some trouble in the initialization of web service model.
I tested the web service through web service navigator and it was ok.

In the test of the web service the Low of the ZbapiRWapius is not needed.
And after setting the value, the exception told me that I must set the tWca, ie the subnode of the result.
The problem is: I do not know why the setter method of the original bean of the "parameters" only accept the parameter of array type .
I think the parameter I set may be wrong.
When I deal with another web service model(the level of the structure is not deep), it is ok.
Could someone give me some suggestion or explanation?
Thanks a lot.

BAPI Web Service Context Mapping Problem

Hello all,
I am developing a process consisting of an automated activity.
This automated activity uses a logical destination for a web service call to an ECC BAPI.
The BAPI name is 'BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2'
Now the problem is the Output mapping in the automated activity which calls the web service for the above BAPI has the response name as 'BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2.Response'
So when i try to map the nodes it gives me an error, 'Error at Line 2, Column 29, Found '.' after BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2'.
Since there is no mapping i do not get the process working
If i remove the '.' from the wsdl file source, mapping is done. But the backend service call gives an error.
How can i solve this problem?
Any inputs will be very helpful.

Hello Martin,
thnks a ton for your replies.
The '.' is a standard thing.
Its the part of the WSDL file which is a standard WSDL file for a service offered for a standard SAP BAPI. So i haven't changed anything.
Its what is standardly available. So i cant anything on that.
And the response element is not below the bapi node.
The name of the root node of the BAPI return context is
"BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2.Response"
This is what is causing the problem.
Please note here that '.' is not responsible for any hierarchy. Its the name of one single root node element.

ABAP Proxy, WEB SERVICE and RFC

Hi
I have to pull the data from XI.
I have the PDFdocument of how to integrate XI with BI.
But i am not clear what is abap proxy and web service.
Could anyone let me know basic of what is abap proxy and webservice.
Is abap proxy and webservice are present in both the systems XI&BI ?
REgards
annie

Hi,
ABAP proxy is a connection between SAP XI & BI . For all the connections need to chk in SM59, and SICF .
proxies are a replacemet for adapters whereas webservices(WSDL) are replacements for data typesYou generate proxies from an interface description in WSDL (Web Service Description Language) by using ABAP proxy generation.

The SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP messages between remote clients or Web service servers and the Integration Server. Also you can use the axis framework with SOAP adapter. Check this help:

Web service client - consumption problem

Hi,
I`m trying to consume web service but there are troubles at the beginning.
In SE80 i go: "Edit Object" ->"Enterprise Services" -> "Client Proxy" -> "Create" -> "URL/HTTP Destination" and in URL put:
https://test-bramka.edeklaracje.gov.pl/uslugi/dokumenty?wsdl
after this I get error:
HTTP error (return code 110, message "")
detailed: Message no. SPRX090
How to manage with these difficulties?
Probably I have to create new entry in SM59 / LPCONFIG but don`t know exactly how with HTTPS connection.

Before configuring logical port under LPCONFIG I tried to create RFC Destination under SM59 in order to use it in LPCONFIG.
In SM59 I tried:
Connection Type: G
Target Host: https://test-bramka.edeklaracje.gov.pl/uslugi/dokumenty/
Service No.: 443
No Logon
SSL Active - DEFAULT SSL Client
Next I used this RFC destination in LPCONFIG:
Proxy Class: as my webservice proxy client name
default port: yes
Call Parameters:
HTTP Destination: name from previously RFC destination
Under Operations there are all methods defined
...but under SE80 in my program I still get output-STATUS = 0. Correct response should be between 100 and 400. This time I have:
"EXPORTING
LOGICAL_PORT_NAME = 'ZCO_GATE_SERVICE_LPORT_TYPE'
enabled
How can I test if RFC connection or logical port under LPCONFIG are defined correctly?

Web service request formatting problem

I'm trying to create a few interfaces to work with some web services that we have published within our organization. Creating the web service reference seems to go fine. We had to work through the details of getting that working over SSL and we seem to have gotten past that hurdle.
Problem is that when I either test the web service reference through the testing page of the Apex app builder or attempt to call the web service from a page built on the web service reference I'm getting an error indicating that the XML of the SOAP request isn't properly formatted. Specifically, it seems that Apex is inserting an extra double-quote at the end of each element tag for all the input parameters.
So I have this:
<SOAP-ENV:Header><ns1:parameters xmlns:ns1="urn:GetIncidentTest"><ns1:userName">
Notice the double-quote at the end of the userName element tag.
The error message says:
Element type "ns1:userName" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
So it's seeing the double-quote where it's not expected/supposed to be and returning an error.
It would seem to me that Apex must be putting that extra double-quote in there at request time, since the web service definition (the WSDL) seems to return all the proper parameters all neatly layed out in the testing page and any other pages I build off the service definition.
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Earl

ADFMobile - Web service data control problem for android

Hi,
I created an application for android and testing it on an emulator.
I am able to create web service data control for a jax-ws web service. But when I invoke the web service and the call comes to the web service host, there are no namespaces in some of the parameters. Typically, the tags which do not have the namespace are complexTypes. All the values of the parameters come properly. I have tried executing the data control in three different manners but still no luck.
AdfmfJavaUtilities.invokeDataControlMethod(..);
AmxMethodActionBinding.execute();
+#{bindings.invokeMethod.execute}+
Thanks.

Hi there,
Can you try to generate a sample JAX-WS the generates a similar complex structure that can help you and us to isolate the issue? I created a jax-ws service using simple complex type on Ubuntu and also a client mobile application getting no problems running it. But, perhaps you are using a more complex structure, hence an standalone would be very useful.

Web service client authentication problem

I applied security role to deployed web services. When I use clientgen to generate client stub or using java client to get WSDL, I got authentication error asking for username and password.
This only happens when I use import in my WSDL file to import other schema files. I think the authentication process happened when retrieving wsdl file, but not import schema files.
Is this some kind of BEA bugs or known issue?
Any advice is appreciated.

Yes, this is a problem. It should be fixed in upcoming release. The work around is embeding the schema to WSDL or run clientgen against a local copy.

Web service url redirecting problem

I am working on a form developed by LC Designer that will call a web service from our web server.
In the WSDL, the soap address location points to www.domain.com/webservice1,
however our web server will perform load balance by directing all www.domain.com to a new url
either www1.domain.com or www2.domain.com.
The result is that nothing is returned after executing the webservice call, I can't catch any error
after xfa.connectionSet.WebServiceDC.execute(false); just nothing returns after the call.
I suppose it is the problem that the url has been redirected to a different one.
However if the soap address location points directly to either www1 or www2, the call returns result alright.
Is there way or script that I can handle by redirecting a web service to a different URL like that in Adobe Flex?
That is what I found from the web for Adobe Flex :
public function onLoginResult(event:ResultEvent):void {
//Extract the new service endpoint from the login result.
var newServiceURL = event.result.serverUrl;
// Redirect all service operations to the URL received in the login result.
serviceName.endpointURI=newServiceURL;
Best Rgds.

A helpful poster on the House of Fusion forums pointed me to
a work-around:
Apparently ColdFusion just uses the WSDL to create the sub
objects for the web service call, so as long as there is a service
port address secified in the WSDL it doesn't matter where the
actual WSDL file sits. So I just downloaded the WSDL using CFHTTP
(had to use this article to configure CFHTTP for HTTP Compression:
http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2004/7/28/20040729)
and then I pointed my CF Administrator to the WSDL on my local
machine. And Presto - I can connect to the web service no problem
now.
Only problem is that I have to download the WSDL every time
there is a change to the webservice, but I can schedule a task that
downloads the file once a week or so.
